According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, Mel B’s ex-husband, producer and director, Stephen Belafonte, asked a judge to allow him to move to Miami, Florida, with their minor daughter, Madison Belafonte.
In a court filing, Belafonte asked the judge to allow him to move to Miami without any modification of the child custody order he and Mel B currently have.
“I am asking the court to allow me to move Madison, with whom I have an approximately 82% timeshare, to Miami Florida, pursuant to Family Code Section 7501,” Belafonte wrote in the legal document. “By moving to Miami, there will be no prejudice to Melanie or the need to modify any custody order since Melanie, who lives in the United Kingdom (“UK”), has already lived away from Madison since 2019.”

The court document goes on to state: “As discussed below, moving to Miami will give me the opportunity to maintain a stable job without the need for frequent business trips that would result in separation from my daughter. As Miami is closer to Melanie, flights to the UK for Madison’s visit with Melanie is shorter and cheaper.”
“Furthermore, given that Melanie had the option to visit Madison in Los Angeles under our current direction, but has chosen not to do the same, closer proximity will actually facilitate and enhance Melanie’s ability to visit Madison in the United States,” he said. . to say

“I am committed to ensuring that Madison maintains a strong and healthy relationship with her mother, and I will continue to do everything in my power to facilitate that relationship if we move to Miami,” he continued. “The move to Miami will not adversely affect Melanie’s relationship or visit with Madison, on the contrary, this move will facilitate Madison’s visit to the UK due to the shorter distance and plane journey.”

Moreover, I have a supportive network of friends and family in Miami that will help us transition smoothly into our new lives,” he said. “My mother has agreed to move with us to Florida, providing Madison with the support and love of a grandmother.”

While it seems like he’s doing everything a good father should do to keep their daughter Madison happy and healthy in their new environment, he hints there’s another reason for the move involving Mel B.
“Madison has reported that Melanie has engaged in inappropriate behavior,” Belafonte alleged in the court filing. “This action made Madison uncomfortable and even scared of her mother.”
It’s unclear what “improper conduct” Belafonte is alleging in the legal documents, but it appears to contradict what he previously wrote in a legal filing, which stated that “I am committed to ensuring that Madison maintains a strong relationship and healthy with his mother. , and I will continue to do everything to facilitate that relationship if we move to Miami.”

It appears that Madison has been in therapy regularly, as Belafonte went on to state that “It is my desire to ensure that Madison continues to have access to her therapist and attorney at all times, regardless of the move to Florida.”
“The move to Florida should not hinder Melanie’s access to Madison in any way, and should not cause any harm to Madison,” he added. “I am asking the Court to grant my request to allow me to move to Miami, Florida so that Madison can begin school in the Fall of 2023.”
A court date for Stephen’s request is scheduled for next month.
